Entrectinib in locally advanced or metastatic ROS1 fusion-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC): Integrated analysis of ALKA-372-001, STARTRK-1 and STARTRK-2

Abstract

Background: Entrectinib is a potent ROS1 inhibitor (as well as TRKA/B/C), designed to effectively penetrate the central nervous system (CNS); brain metastases are common in patients (pts) with advanced ROS1 fusion-positive NSCLC. Entrectinib achieves therapeutic levels in the CNS with antitumour activity in multiple intracranial tumour models. We present updated integrated safety and efficacy data from three Phase 1/2 entrectinib studies (ALKA-372-001 [EudraCT 2012-000148-88], STARTRK-1 [NCT02097810], STARTRK-2 [NCT02568267]) in pts with locally advanced/metastatic ROS1 fusion-positive NSCLC.
